3 Claims. (Cl. 132-362) This invention relates to wrappers for enclosing wound strands of hair during'theforming of permanent waves therein, and is an improve- 'ment over the construction of wrapper set forth -5 in my co-pending application filed May 18, 1933,

Serial No. 671,678. 7

Inthe art of permanent waving of human hair, it is the practice to arrange the hair in strandsyor hanks, and tightly wind the'same I upon individual curler rods, after which a strip of absorbent material which has been impregnated with alotion or powder commonly used in the process ofhair waving, is wound upon the wound-hainand the said strip of absorbent material" is enclosed in a moisture proof outer wrapper, so that, when the curled hair. and absorbent material'aresubjectedto the action of heat by the heaters fitted over the respective wrapped curled-"hair; vapor will be' produced within the protecting jacket formed by the wrapper... Many objections are found tothe presenttype'of wrappers due to the escape of steam vapors therefrom which reduce the effectiveness' of the hair waving process, and although skillfully wrapped, often results in scalp "burns to thehead' oithe person receiving the wave Therefore, one of the main objects of the invention resides in a combinedpad and. wrapl per which will provide a sealed jacket for .the wound hair to prevent the escape of vapors therefrom, and which may be sealed without 1 Another. feature of the invention resides a wrapper which maybe easily and quickly cut down to adapt the same for thewrapping of the short, endsof hairwhich is now accomplished by the use ofa different style of wrapper than that used for the waving of relatively long hanks of hair.

1A further feature, of the invention over that setgforth in the above copending application embodies the notching for slitting of the wrapper inwardly from one of the longitudinal edges rather than from one of the side edges. vBy so arranging the notch or cut, I am able to materially increase the sealing qualities of the wrapper when wound upon a "hank of hair to be wavedfl A further object of the invention is the provision of a combined hair curling pad and wrapper in which the" pad which is first wound upon the wound hair to be waved receivesatleast one winding of the'wrapp'er to secure the pad in tight wound condition before the same'is 'rea Figure 1 is a perspective view of v embodiment of my invention withparts broken side edges.

leased by the hands of an operator to hold in the end sealing flap which is 'necessarybefore Y the complete winding of the wrapper.

A'still further object of the invention is the 'provisionof a wrapper for use in permanent hair Waving having the above features which is simple and inexpensive of construction, and easy and quick to apply to the wound hair preparatory tov the subjection of the same to heat.

With these and other objects in view, the invention resides in the certain novel construction, combination'and arrangement of parts, the essential features of which vare hereinafter fully described, are particularly pointed out in the'appended claims, and are illustrated in the accom panying drawings, in which:

the preferred away.

I Figure 8 is a plan, view of a wrapper forthe winding of hair ends which is cut from a wrapper of the preceding construction.

Figures 9, 10, and 11 are plan views of various l modifications.

Referring to the drawings by reference characters, and more particularlyto the form of'fthe 'invention shown in Figures 1 to 6 inclusive, the

formed of a single piece doubled upon itself to provide two thicknesses. The pad 10 is attached to'one side of the wrapper or outer, covering 11 in a manner presently to be described.

The wrapper or outer covering 11 isof sub"- stantially rectangular shape but is, cut to provide right angularly disposed joining extension portions 12 and 13 at one end and at one of the adjacent longitudinal sides. The transverse and long'itudinaledges of the wrapper arestraight are straight and at The end edge of the extension portion 12 terminates inwardly of the longitudinal edge 14 of the wrapper, and to which edge 14, the pad 10 is secured by a line of stitching 15, one end or the pad being even with the end edge of the wrapper from which the portion 12 extends, while the other end of the pad terminates short of the opposite end of the said wrapper.

'I'he wrapper or,.covering v11 comprises an outer sheet of, a'luminumpr tin foil 16, andrinnerrsheets of paper 1'7--17. The sheets of paper '17 may be formed of a single piece folded upon itself, along one of the longitudinal edges or may "be" of two separate sheets held to e her the stitching 15 which passes through the sheets of paper as well as the foil sheets.16.. Also if desired, the foil sheet 16 may "be interposed be-' tween the paper sheets, and iurthermre only;
